Aermec UK managing director Paul Lawrence said: “Aermec doesn’t just sell HVAC systems, we build relationships. Our two-year warranty provides peace of mind, convenience and customers can be assured they have invested in reliable products backed up with an outstanding warranty scheme from a company they can trust.’’ The two-year warranty will be applicable from the date of delivery to site or 18 months from commissioning. Longer warranties – up to five years – can also be provided, conditional on an Aermec PPM package being in place. https://www.aermec.co.uk/ PANASONIC EXPANDS VRF OFFER Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions is expanding its wide range of VRF products with the introduction of its new R32 Mini VRF ECOi LZ Series.
